Jada Pinkett was an inspirational actress! hide show

Ms. Jada Pinkett-Smith is a very talented actress. She starred on the Cosby Show spin-off 'A Different world' as Lena James on season 6, recurrng previously. She is very talented. Jada has also filmed many movies and guest-starred on many other popular shows at the time. She is married to the famous and popular Will Smith as many people know from the show, 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air'. Jada Pinkett-Smith is inspirational and a favorite actress of mine. She is a funny person and once again very talented. Jada is excellent at everything she does on screen and i would recommend that you see some of her work!
